My Lexmark z52 burned out so I uninstalled their linux driver. (It was a beautful printer until this happened, just at the end of the first ink cartridge) and stuck on my old BJC620. I am running the lpd printer deamon. I have a zip250 attached to the parallel port and a BJC 620 attched to the zip250. I load the approprate modules in boot.local. It's been working like a champ from 7.0 through 7.2, even when I moved to the 2.4.4 kernel. When I boot the "modprobe lp parport=0" command works as it should. But, when I fire YaST2 while in the terminal mode in root, YaST2 removes the module lp and then can't find the printer. The test print won't print. So, I quit YaST2 after I continue with the printer setup. Then I issue the command "modprobe lp parport=0" manually. In a few seconds the test page from YaST2 begins printing and does so nicely. Anyone have any clue why the lp module won't stay loaded? JLK
